Let's set the record straight on Tua
Posted on 10/23/18 at 12:48 pm

I've seen entirely too many posts suggesting that he is only good because his receivers are wide open against trash secondaries. It's true he hasn't played a great defense yet this year, but let's take the P&G glasses off for a minute and just objectively look at some of his throws.
Tua Highlights 2018
Here are some of his highlights. It's full of some bs at the beginning, but I'll filter through it and point out a few so you can go directly to them.
Start at 2:00. Has plenty of time, pumps left, comes back over the middle and throws a dime in stride to a receiver with about 5 yards of separation. This pass is probably completed even if it isn't a perfect throw, but it wouldn't be a touchdown if it isn't in stride.
2:21. Under pressure, throws a jump ball to a defender with his back towards the play. Defender gets lost, touchdown. Sure, this could be a bad decision, but we've seen our own cornerbacks get lost with their back to the ball several times this year.
2:42. Corner route to the tight end. DB in great position. Perfect throw.
2:55. Double move vs. aTm. Safety gets turned around, we've seen almost this exact situation unfold vs. Battle, the safety makes a decent recovery but a great throw beats him.
3:38. Pretty good coverage. Absolute dime.
4:50. Running to his left, man in his face, decent coverage.
5:45. RPO slant pass with a defender in his face. Corner is in decent coverage, pass right in stride and the safety takes a bad angle.
6:09. LB has great coverage on tight end on the wheel. Perfect throw.
7:08. Good coverage on slot receiver on 3rd and 8. Bullet beats the CB for a first down on an out route.
8:04. 3rd and 10. Perfect throw on the corner route to get the 1st down.
This doesn't even include play designs that had the defense fooled or busted coverages. I don't think I included any vs. Ark St or ULL. These are just a few plays from one highlight tape that I could see him making against our D.
This isn't to say he's unstoppable. We will definitely be his toughest test yet. I've simply made this post to enlighten some people who think he only throws to wide open receivers. Tua will make some plays against our defense. We will have to live with that. The best defense against quarterbacks like this is a good offense. He can't make those plays from the bench. I think that's the key to this one.

He's very good. Hard to believe this is his first year.

I'll ask everyone who keeps posting this, How is this different from the past 8-10 years? TUA and bama offense is legit!

Exactly. This isn’t wuerffel and dean throwing to open receivers
Posted on 10/23/18 at 12:55 pm to Not Cooper
Tua is a great QB playing at a high level. Anyone who says otherwise is just an idiot or trolling.
Posted on 10/23/18 at 12:57 pm to Not Cooper
Have to put pressure on him, if he sits in the pocket he will burn us at some points.
But as you said, keep him off the field is priority #1.
Its going to be fun. Lets get it.

It's not his first year. He saw action in 8 games last year and was an early enrollee on top of that.

All the evidence indicates that Tua is the REAL DEAL. I think he will light up the LSU defense.
Posted on 10/23/18 at 1:02 pm to Not Cooper
Tua is by far the best qb in college football this year. As great as our defense is, I don't think anyone stops Tua this year. Hopefully he gets a little rattled but that kid didn't get rattled in the national championship last year.

I cant believe you took the time to post all this after breaking down film
frick Tua. we ridin'

Johnny Manziel and Lamar Jackson were the real deal too. You might want to check their stat lines against LSU.

No, you started this thread because you are a pusilannimous, fawning, trembling Bama sycophant who arrogantly believed he needed to "set the record straight" by spewing hyperbolic acclaim for Tua. Perhaps I should "set the record straight" by posting video of Greedy Williams and Delpit and Fulton, who will be the best DBs Tua has faced all year. By far.
Your post was pointless drivel.

Any LSU fan that thinks he isn’t good is setting up for a rude awakening.

Neither one of those guys had the arm talent tua does. Not even close. Not to mention. The weapons tua has.

Nowhere in my post did I say they weren't. In fact, I said exactly what you said.

You are irrationally mad over an objective post that detailed like 8 throws.

Have to milk the clock.... no other way.

Tua's accuracy has dropped significantly in the last two games. Have to hope that trend continues. And we have to hit him a lot.

Bama QB's are supposed to be smug dudes with mediocre talent that are easy to hate

Thing is, they weren’t paired with a Bama supporting cast....
